Loew did not identify nemormn from North America, but named 

 our species assimilis, stating that it did not differ from nemorum, 

 except in having a little shorter plumosity of the arista and general 

 paler color; Czerny identified his American material as nemorum, 

 and did not identify assimilis, merely quoting the description (op. 

 cit, p. 222). From these facts I feel safe in making assimilis a 

 synonym of ni^viorum.
